Prop 64

"You can't just take a Colorado model and apply it to California, and expect it to match up perfectly"​-Dan Rowland, Denver Police Department

What's this Podcast About?

For our podcast we decided to focus on the question " If Prop 64 passes, is California going to turn into a state of potheads?" We choose to focus on that as our burning question because we felt as if it grabbed people's attention. We contacted a man who works at a marijuana dispensary here in San Diego and we contacted a police officer in Colorado.

What is Prop 64 ?

Prop 64 is a proposition imposed by Californians that if passed would allow adults to use recreational marijuana. If this prop is passed marijuana would be legal for all adults 21 and over and it would start taxing the marijuana. The money from the taxes would go to after school programs, job training, drug treatment, and police enforcement. The money of the taxes are estimated to bring in over $1 Billion per year.The system for the growth and distribution of marijuana would be very strict with very serious consequences if you don’t follow the rules. For example, selling to underage kids could result in serious jail time and the removal of their marijuana license. ​
